The Solution

An In Depth Keyword Driven SEO Content Strategy for Their Micro Niche

Straight Up Search began by conducting a comprehensive audit of the Recruitment SaaS website’s content, producing a keyword research and competitive analysis report that summarised:

• Organic Traction & SEO Opportunities: The site’s existing keyword rankings, and what they should be targeting
• Competitive Deep Dive: The keywords of the brand’s top competitors
• Backlink Analysis: Studying the domain’s backlink profile

We recommended a SEO driven content marketing strategy targeting long-tail, highly relevant research-based keywords. Then we built out an editorial calendar with headlines and content ideas built to captivate traffic and answer industry-related questions that they may have. A KPI report was sent twice a month to our clients to ensure that they had excellent communication as we published material.

Ramping up your SEO optimised content is just the beginning when it comes to developing a comprehensive SEO strategy. In order to really see results, you need to focus on all of the pillars of SEO – on-page factors, technical SEO, link building and digital PR. By taking a holistic approach to SEO, you can give your website the best chance of ranking highly in search engine results pages.On-page factors refer to all of the elements on your website that can impact your search engine ranking, from the quality of your content to your website’s architecture. Technical SEO covers factors like site speed and indexation, which can also affect your ranking. Link building is about earning high-quality backlinks from other websites, and digital PR involves promoting your website through online channels.

By paying attention to all of these elements, you can create an SEO strategy that will help you hit your KPIs.
